Interarchy appears to have a great dictionary and I think it can do exactly

what I want Interarchy to do is go to a url I give it and grab two things,

Something like this (but this does not work, obviously)

my SuckTheSite(StartingURL)

on SuckTheSite(TheURL)

tell application "Interarchy 4.1" --Runing under OS X if it matters

activate

set TheFiles to url TheURL -- That fails. How do I get the file listing?

set theJPGSet to every item of TheFiles whose name ends with "jpg"

set theJPG to every item of theJPGset whose name starts with "AA"

display dialog item 1 of theJPG -- should be one item

try

set NextLink to item of TheFiles whose name is "Next"

The pseudo-script sure LOOKS nice. Too bad it doesn't work. :)
